Accurately assessing biochar’s durability in soil is essential for credible carbon removal. This white paper challenges recent comparisons to inertinite, a coal component, highlighting key scientific flaws and offering guidance on conservative, evidence-based crediting.

What's Inside

  • Inertinite comparisons overlook critical differences between coal and biochar in soil.
  • Current protocols vary widely, creating a risk of overcrediting carbon removal.
  • Conservative, evidence-based methods are essential for credible biochar carbon removal.
